Planning the perfect engagement can be exciting. There are a lot of details you will not want to miss out on so that your plans will go on smoothly. Before anything else, you should have a plan in mind of the future. Think of possible what if's that the two of you might share together. Women like to feel secured, and having a plan for the future indicates that you have been doing much contemplating. If you mindlessly propose to her, she might come up with many worries for the future, as it would be one she would share with commitment.
Next, although you would really like to surprise her, you should get the idea into her head beforehand. Talk about your possible endeavors together as a married couple, and tell her how you would provide for her. It would be good to make amends early if there are great concerns.
One of the biggest dilemmas you can have is to look for a suitable engagement ring. You do not one that is too fancy or too plain. When choosing rings, think about your partner's personality and preferences, as well as find out her finger size. It should be one that she will be sincerely proud of. You can survey catalogues to get an idea of the kind of ring that you think will best suit your partner. You could also broaden your search beyond the engagement rings and check out gold rings for women, as sometimes, there might be one that suits her best. Of course, while looking for gold rings for women, if that is the case, do not forget to find for a matching gold ring for yourself. If you cannot find the perfect one, go for custom-made rings instead.
Another important thing to do is to ask for her parent's permission and blessings to hand her daughter for marriage. This extra effort shows your sincerity and seriousness in being wed to her. It would also be easier to propose with her family and friend's support as you can ask them for advice for the perfect proposal. Tell them to keep the proposal plan a secret.
Last but not least, pop the question. Make sure the time, place and mood are right. You would want her to remember the moment for the right reasons.
